Thereby, This year's fair confirms that reading in Lebanon and the Arab world is alive and well,”

The event is served as a rich opportunity for libraries, schools, literacy organizations, book reviewers as well as parents to highlight the best information and narrative non-fiction books for children and to show how it’s not just fiction that can be read and enjoyed for pleasure.
